Movie rights for Arcana Comics’s GearHead have been acquired by Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla Motion Pictures, Arcana announced.  Rights were previously held by Darius Films (see “Gearhead Optioned”). 

Hurd has a long success record with action and comic-based films, with a producer or exec producer credit on all three Terminator movies, Aliens, Punisher, Hulk, Incredible Hulk, and the upcoming Punisher:  War Zone.   “It’s a terrific, character-driven story set in a unique and compelling world,” Hurd said of the property.

GearHead, by Dennis Hopeless and Kevin Mellon, is currently available in trade paperback.
